My first shave with a recent BST razor purchase, with thanks and gratitude to Alan, @ekeko - Royal Mail couldn't defeat us!
This Feather SR seems to me to be the next step from it's stable mate, the ACS-NB.
The edges of the blade holder have less of a rounded tip, so I had this in mind from the off - along with ensuring the lather was adequately hydrated.
I was a little trepidacious to begin with, but the correct angle of attack wasn't hard to determine.
Using a guarded blade with eight shaves behind it was a good choice.
Two passes, (WTG & ATG) and I managed to avoid mishap - phew!

SOTD: 25/03/2023

Razor: Occam’s Oren
Blade: Kai Captain Titan Mild ( Yellow ), 1st use
Brush: Knothead Brush Works 26mm AP Shave Co. Synbad
Bowl: 3D Printed Bowl
Preshave: PAA Cube Unscented Soap
Soap: House Of Mammoth Damocles Puck
Balm: The Inkey List Vitamin B, C And E Moisturiser Balm
Fragrance: Paco Rabanne 1 Million Eau de Toilette

The HOM base is becoming a firm favourite even if this isn’t my favourite in my bag of samples. The Oren while still a new favourite isn’t quite as effortless with the Kai Yellow. It felt a little harsh at first but levelled off in the end. Certainly my least favourite blade pairing so far, and one I’m certain is the blade rather than the razor. YMMV was never more true in this case. It just wasn’t the magic pairing I’ve had so far, good in the end but not as amazing as the others I’d tried.

Greetings,

A relaxing Sunday morning shave.

It's been a while since I've last added the Cella extra extra Bio shaving cream to my shave set ups, and forgot how good this vegan version of it's tallow sibling performs. Like the tallow version it's slick protective and doesn't dry out on my face and leaving my face feeling hydrated and smooth. I intend to use this cream more often in future shaves.

A comfortable 2 pass + pick ups shave with no errors to report. Finishing the shave off with a few small dollops of Aloe Vera Gel.

My face is feeling super smooth & smelling divine. 😉

Keep safe, and enjoy your Sunday ladies & gentlemen. 😎
